SANTA CRUZ >> Effective teaching, long-time Harbor High School educator Ron Indra, means ensuring that students see themselves in the world they are learning about.
Indra, a social studies teacher, is among the early leaders statewide pushing to bring Santa Cruz County's LGBT history high school curriculum into alignment with state law passed in 2011.
Under a $10,000 Diversity Partnership Grant from the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz County, Indra and 10 other educators from school districts across the county have met monthly since January to learn to bring LGBT history into their classrooms. Each was given a curriculum guide aimed at U.S. history courses and later reported back on student reception to the topic.
"Going into teach the first lesson, I was nervous — I didn't know how my students were going to respond," Scotts Valley High School teacher Miranda Baker told her peers during the group's last meeting at the Community Foundation offices on May 12. "I think the biggest 'a-ha moment' for me was that they're open-minded and that they were curious. After the first lesson, they were like, we need more of this, we want to know more about LGBT history."
Though the state's so-called FAIR Education Act went into effect in 2012, most school districts, particularly among public schools, have not moved forward on implementation, Indra said. The bill's name represents the push for a "fair, accurate, inclusive and respectful" K-12 education.
"The problem is, the state legislature says, 'teach this now,'" said Indra, who also serves as director of the queer resources Safe Schools Project of Santa Cruz County. "The text book companies wait for schools to say that they want it. School districts wait for the textbook companies to put it in and it gets caught in this loop."
With extra help from the learning grant, teachers across the county are breaking free of that cycle, however.
During a recent session of Alicia Guzman's second-period class at Santa Cruz High School, juniors using their cell phones raced to answer LGBT history quiz questions with online education tool Kahoot!
While only 12 of the 28 students knew that U.S. military soldiers discharged due to sexuality were given "blue tickets," 25 correctly identified the "Lavender Scare." The term, a cousin to the "Red Scare," was coined as the period after President Dwight Eisenhower passed Executive Order 10450 in 1953, establishing government employee morality and character restraints that implicitly targeted gay workers.
Nate Myers, 17, said he felt Guzman's class a nuanced look at both the struggles and the impact of historic gay figures. Now, Myers said, he can answer questions about LGBTQ community member contributions to society. Myers has even started investigating the topic a bit in his own time, he said.
"Recognition — that's what everybody's wanting to have," Myers said. "I think a lot of LGBTQ members were silenced and they didn't get recognition that they deserved, like people who led the civil rights movements."
For Nikki Best, including LGBT history into the curriculum is a plus and should be standardized, not atypical, she said.
"It shouldn't be a big deal, because it's part of society," said Best, 17. "If it's integrated into the curriculum, you'll be influenced to not be biased or against things like that. I think it's history, it's not teaching opinions — as it should be."
Even as Santa Cruz County teachers feel their way through unfamiliar territory with the evolving curriculum, the state Department of Education is in the process of adopting new history textbooks for public schools statewide. The new texts will include LGBT history for the first time. Education consultant Rob Darrow, who led Santa Cruz's grant-funded teachers training along with Indra and Delta High School teacher Jamie Cutter, is on the state's history social science adoption committee.
"When you start teaching LGBT history, you start thinking 'how do you make these schools safer?'" Darrow said. "The curriculum integration is one of those areas, because curriculum is a mirror and a window for kids and teachers don't realize that sometimes. When kids see themselves in that mirror, they do better in school."
Editor's note: This article has been updated to clarify the leaders of the curriculum project.

Techno Takatsuki
Techno Takatsuki in Japan was the first to research and develop linear (electromagnetic) diaphragm air pumps and blowers. They launched the Hiblow series in 1967 and since that time they have produced over 6 million Hiblow units and remain the leading innovator of linear diaphragm technology. In Australia the GJL and GJH series were sold under the name of Sakuragawa.Techno Takatsuki's advanced technology has been applied to create highly durable, high quality, low noise and power efficient solutions for an expanding range of technical applications in over 40 countries worldwide. Hiblow air pumps and blowers are simple and economical to service.For over 40 years, the Hiblow name has been recognised as an innovative designer and reliable supplier of linear diaphragm technology. Customers include many of the world's largest and well known companies such as Panasonic, Hitachi, and Sanyo.
It has been almost half a decade since Techno Takatsuki started the sale of Hiblow linear air pumps and blowers. They firstly developed the magnetic linear diaphragm type air pump and blower in Japan and have built a firm position as a pioneer in this industry. Techno Takatsuki has produced more than 6 million Hiblow air pumps and blowers used in various fields such as medical, home appliance, aquarium, septic tanks, and wastewater treatment systems.
Sakuragawa GJL and GJH air pumps and blowers ceased production over 12 years ago and spares were to be phased out a few years ago, we have managed to continue supply and will do so as till such time as all spares have been exhausted.

SAN FRANCISCO — This is the live blog for the first quarter of the 49ers' Week 13 game against the Rams. I'll update this frequently with information and analysis from the press box.
1:03 The Rams win the toss and elect to receive.
1:08 The Rams go three-and-out. On second down, Kellen Clemens actually sacked himself. He ran into his own offensive lineman. After the punt, the 49ers will start from their own 33.
1:14 Colin Kaepernick converts the 49ers' first third down, a third-and-10, with a 12-yard pass to Anquan Boldin. Who else?
1:15 It's second-and-14 at the 49ers' 41 and Joe Staley is down on the field. Now he's limping off the field.
1:16 Boone is at left tackle and Kilgore is at right guard.
1:21 On third-and-8 from the Rams' 13, Kaepernick scrambles to the left for a one-yard loss. Phil Dawson makes the 32-yard field goal. 3-0 Niners with 7:36 left in the first quarter.
1:23 Crabtree has no catches and two penalties so far – a block in the back and a pass interference.
1:24 Staley is slowly walking to the locker room.
1:24 Staley has a knee injury and will not return to this game.
1:29 Jared Cook drops a first-down pass over the middle on third-and-5 and the Rams go three-and-out again. They have zero first downs and 11 net yards.
1:30 James fumbles the punt but recovers it at the 49ers' 28.
1:39 It's first-and-10 and the Rams' 20 and the 49ers use their first timeout. Kaepernick just scrambled up the middle for 8 yards and a first down. The Rams have committed 3 penalties on this drive. Crabtree made his first catch of the season – an 8-yarder over the middle.
1:44 On second-and-15 from the Rams' 25, Kaepernick gets sacked for a six-yard loss. The Rams double-covered Anquan Boldin and Kaepernick never got to his second read. That's the end of the first quarter.

Remember when I wrote this?
Fixing my Under Eyes with Squalane and super cheap Eye Cream
and this?
Squalane – hip new skincare
When I wrote both those posts I had no idea that there was a company actually working on an eye cream that advertises squalane as a main active ingredient, so I was very surprised to find this under the new arrivals at Sephora. I take this as confirmation of my skincare instincts (also driven by experience see here).
In the product description on the Sephora website Biossance claims the following:
"Research results:
In a use test panel of 32 volunteers age 27 to 66 using the product twice a day for 21 days:
– 98% of women said that skin on the upper eye lid appears firmer
– 98% of women said that skin under the eye is smoother
– 97% of women said that the puffiness under their eye is visibly reduced
– 97% of women said that eye area appears more awake
– 97% of women said that signs of fatigue around the eye area are visibly reduced
– 97% of women said that eye area appears more rejuvenated
– 97% of women said that eye area appears younger looking
– 96% of women said that dark circles under the eye area are visibly reduced"
I can well believe these statements, reading on further, it seems to have really good other active ingredients. If you want the benefits of squalane along with main other effective ingredients, anti oxidant vitamin c and caffeine against puffiness this may be the product for you. Retailing at 54 USD for half an ounce, it is a little pricey. But it does also contain other good ingredients as well.
A cheaper, but nice effective version might be "my" cheap hyaluronic acid eye cream with the squalane and adding The Ordinary's Caffeine Solution.

Past disaster experience, including Hurricane Katrina, has taught us
90% of steps and ramps used for Manufactured Housing Units (MHU) were wood.
A wooden assembly took half of a day to build, delaying MHU occupancy.
100% of this chemically treated wood had to be treated as Hazardous Waste.
Poorly designed and rushed installs caused a potential dangerous conditions to occupants – rot, uneven surfaces, and poor footings.
Wooden steps and ramps required significant time to deconstruct upon MHU removal.

When we make changes at home, our focus for modification is usually centered on the interior space since it is where we hang whenever we stay at home. However, when it comes to the overall value of your home, your outdoors are just as good as the interiors of your home. As the matter of fact, any added feature to home escalates the value of any home this means a landscaped outdoors adds more value to the home depending on how beautiful and functional the exterior is.
When you have a free space on your outdoors, the best way to improve it is to do landscaping. A landscaped front yard or garden adds beauty to any home. One of the best way to give your home a wonderful makeover is to improve the look of your outdoors. A beautiful outdoor gives an impression to your neighbors and other people of what it looks like on the inside. People will think that your interiors are as good as the exteriors of your home.
If you have an idle space in your backyard, landscaping it would be a great idea to start using it and transforming it into something that you and your family would benefit. Decorating your place with plants is a great way to bring life into your home. If you are into gardening and knows some basic carpentry and is up to do any DIY projects, then doing landscaping on your own wouldn't be a headache for you. Besides, wouldn't it be nice to see every day the masterpiece you work yourself hard with? However, having it done by professional isn't a bad idea. If you take your landscaping project as an investment for the future sale of your house, then having a professional touch would be worth the trust.
Choosing the landscape design for your home can be quite challenging, and you'll be surprised with all the options you can choose from. The design possibilities that you have are endless however you need to make sure that the design is attainable to the type of space that you have. In fact, there are a lot of factors that you need to consider when planning your landscape design since you are dealing with living elements that need proper care and maintenance.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Residential Pressure Washer Services and other Pressure Washers topics.
When you are ready to hire a professional pressure washing service, you should know what to look for and what to ask to ensure that they are reputable.
1. A professional power washing service should be able to produce proof of their license.
2. Ask them if they are in compliance with EPA and local regulations.
3. Ask them for references from other customers.
4. You can also check with a professional association such as Power Washers of North America (www.pwna.org) if in doubt about their qualifications.
Ask questions until you are satisfied. Check that they have the right pressure washing equipment for your job. An untrained or inexperienced power washer operator can cause damage to your house and property.
Also, beware of cheap contractors. If a contractor is offering a price that is much lower than their competition it may be that they are inexperienced or unlicensed and they are trying to compensate with a lower dollar figure. In some cases this may end up in a nightmare of incomplete jobs or costly damage. Buyer beware!

It's that mega sports event - eviction
The evictions just go on. Just as Raquel Rolnik, the Special Rapporteur of the UN Human Rights Council on the right to adequate housing, criticised the evictions taking place in Brazil campaigners there claim up to one and a half million people will be displaced across Brazil between now and the 2014 World Cup. That doesn't include the 2016 Olympics.

Raquel Rolnik, the Special Rapporteur of the UN Human Rights Council on the right to adequate housing, has criticised the evictions taking place in Brazil around the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games. "I am particularly worried about what seems to be a pattern of lack of transparency, consultation, dialogue, fair negotiation, and participation of the affected communities in processes concerning evictions undertaken or planned in connection with the World Cup and Olympics."

The true cost of tickets for the Olympics: community and workplace organising?
from Corporate Watch
Official prestige tickets for the 2012 Olympics, which include food and drink, are going to be some of the most expensive in the history of sport, at £4,500 per person.
These tickets cannot be sold as single tickets, but only in blocks of ten. In addition, conditions of purchase will mean that an individual or company buying hospitality tickets for the opening or closing ceremonies of the Games will have to pay a minimum of £270,000, because seats for other events much also be bought at the same time. The only sports tickets to ever be more expensive were those for the 2011 Super Bowl in Texas at £5,545 each. However, once tax is added, the Olympics tickets become £5,400, so together with the 'minimum buy' requirements the tickets are not far off the most expensive sports tickets in history.

WikiLeaks Cables Anticipate Human Rights Violations in Lead-Up to Rio Olympics
by Bob Quellos
The ever-increasing trove of US diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks is shedding light on the realities the people of Rio de Janeiro will be facing as that city prepares to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. The released cables focus mainly on Rio de Janeiro's Orwellian-named "Favela Pacification Program," run by Rio's Peacemaker Police Units known as UPP, and discuss the possibility of human rights violations in the run-up to the 2016 Olympics.

Bear hug
A wrestler stands in front of an opponent and locks his hands around the opponent, squeezing him. Often he will shake his body from side to side, in order to generate more pain around the ribs and spine. Frequently used by powerhouse style wrestlers, this rather simple to apply hold was used by heels and faces alike.
Reverse Bear Hug
A wrestler stands behind the opponent and locks his hands around the stomach of the opponent, squeezing him like a regular Bear hug, the wrestler also has his opponent in the air, while squeezing. The wrestler want to squeezing a little bit more to generate more pain in the stomach and ribs.
Body scissors
A wrestler approaches a sitting opponent from in front, behind, or either sides. The attacking wrestler then sits next to the opponent and wraps their legs around the opponent, crossing their ankles and then tightening their grip by squeezing together their thighs or straightening their legs to choke the wrestler by compressing their torso. This hold is often used in conjunction with a hold applied to the head or the arms in order to restrain the opponent and makes them want to tap out.
Similar to a bear hug from a behind, a gutwrench hold, also known as an "inverted bear hug," starts with the opponent doubled over and the attacking wrestler pushing the opponent's head to one side of his legs, he then locks his arms around the opponents waist and lifts the opponent up as though going for a powerbomb so the victims back is wrapped over the attacking wrestlers shoulder. This hold is often transitioned into a submission, powerbomb, backbreaker, or suplex.
Back and torso stretches
Abdominal stretch
The Big Show locks John Cena in a Abdominal stretch.
Also known as a Cobra Twist, this hold begins with a wrestler facing his opponent's side. The wrestler first straddles one of the opponent's legs, then reaches over the opponent's near arm with the arm close to the opponent's back and locks it. Squatting and twisting to the side, flexs the opponent's back and stretches their abdomen. This move can also be applied on the ground, called the Ground Cobra when Antonio Inoki used it to beat Don Frye in a Japanese Pro-wrestling match.
Al Capone Cradle
The receiving wrestler is sitting down with his legs extended, the applier stands facing in the same direction so that his legs step over the receiver's shoulders trapping the head between his thighs, he then precedes to reach down and grab each ankle with each hand and pull them up wards to apply a torturous stretch. This move called by this name was first seen in WCW.
Boston crab
Main article: Boston crab
This typically starts with the opponent on his back, and the wrestler standing and facing him. The wrestler hooks each of the opponent's legs in one of his arms, and then turns the opponent face-down, stepping over him in the process. The final position has the wrestler in a semi-sitting position and facing away from his opponent, with the opponent's back and legs bent back toward his face.
Bow and arrow hold
The wrestler kneels on his opponent's back with both knees, hooking the head with one arm and the legs with the other. He then rolls back so that his opponent is suspended on his knees above him, facing up. The wrestler pulls down with both arms while pushing up with the knees to bend the opponent's back.
Gory special
This hold sees a wrestler lift their opponent over their shoulder so that the opponent's upper back is across the wrestler's shoulder. Thus, the wrestler and opponent are back to back, facing opposite directions. The opponent's legs are tucked around the wrestler's hips. The wrestler can now apply pressure by applying a chinlock and pressing down. One or both of the opponent's arms can also be hooked for extra pressure.
Octopus hold
The wrestler stands behind the opponent and hooks a leg over the opponent's opposite leg. The wrestler then forces the opponent to one side, traps one of the opponent's arms with their own arm, and drapes their free leg over the neck of the opponent, forcing it downward. This elevates the wrestler and places all the weight of the wrestler on the opponent. The wrestler has one arm free, which can be used for balance.
The surfboard hold first sees a wrestler stand behind a fallen opponent, who is lying stomach first to the floor. The wrestler places one foot down just above each of the opponent's knees and bends his or her legs up, hooking them around his or her own knees; at this point the wrestler grasps both of his opponent's wrists (usually slapping the opponent's back in an attempt to bring the arms in reach), and falls backwards while compressing the opponent's shoulder-blades and lifting him or her off the ground. This can see the wrestler fall to a seated position or go onto his or her own back, lifting the opponent skyward, which will increase pressure on the opponent but put the wrestler in risk of pinning his or her own shoulders to the mat.
Another version of a surfboard which is most often applied by a standing wrestler against a prone opponent�but may also be applied by a seated wrestler or against a seated or kneeling opponent�sees the wrestler grasp both of his opponent's wrists, while placing his or her foot or knee on the opponent's upper back, pulling back on the arms to compress the opponent's shoulder blades.
The Tarantula
Applier has his legs hooked as if doing an inverted full nelson to the Receiver with his legs, then he grabs the ropes and goes completely over them so he can reach around from the other side to grab the receiver's feet so they can both be dangled off the ropes.

Its hard to believe it has already been five months since I got back from twelve days dedicated photography in the South Island of New Zealand in July this year 2009. The time just seems to have slipped away – meaning its high time I gave a shout out to Phillip of Capture New Zealand and wrote a bit of a review of sorts on the trip.
I put a post up here on the Luminous Landscape photography forum where I tend to hang out – but I feel a dedicated review post is warranted for anyone else wanting to go to New Zealand (and I strongly recommend and encourage anyone wanting to do landscape photography to pay it a visit – it its truly breathtaking and spectacularly beautiful). For sake of ease here is the direct link on You Tube to the video shot by our guide during the trip
First.. a little back end history…New Zealand's South Island had been on my radar for a long time for photography – and thanks to the world economic crisis and work opportunities it went from being on the radar to fruition. I had been tentatively booked onto one of Daniel Bergmans tours in Iceland during this time in 2009, but when the Australian dollar took an almighty nose dive this become uneconomically viable and I had to make the decision to postpone Iceland (now booked for 2010). So I started looking into NZ (specifically the South Island).
It was a post on the Luminous Landscape forum here by 'Marty' that first drew my attention to Phillip and Capture New Zealand's Photography tours.
As a dedicated landscape photographer who takes his work seriously I am always extremely gun shy of tours – even ones that label themselves as Photographic in nature. To often they purport to be for the serious photographer – but really cater to the general tourist (I really dislike tourists :-) ). Several emails back and forth with Phillip and I quickly came to the conclusion this was not the case and that Capture New Zealand was indeed all about being in the best locations at the best time to get the best light. In other words.. it was all about the Photography.
As it turned out a fellow landscape photographer from Texas (John) had planned a custom tour in the South Island with Phillip for the same time I wanted to be there and was kind enough to extend an invitation through Phillip for me to join. So it was set – we would meet up in Christchurch for twelve days solid photography in the spectacular South Island.
From the moment I walked through the New Zealand customs gate (wash your trekking boots before you go to NZ – customs don't like dirty boots!) and met Phillip to the very moment we parted company back at the airport he was the perfect gentleman and tour host. Nothing was ever to hard or to much trouble and Phillip consistently went out of his way to make sure John and I were comfortable and more importantly (to me anyway) made sure we were in the right spot at the right time to get the shot we wanted.
Sometimes its the little things that make the difference between a truly great experience and just a good one – and Phillip's tour was packed full of those little things. In fact, I got so used to having the door of the 4X4 opened and closed for me I stood next to my car waiting for my wife to open the door for me as a bit of a joke when I got back. :-)
Everything from the accommodation, to the restaurants we ate in, to the timing of photo shoots was meticulously organized and attended to by Phillip – which meant I could focus solely on my photography. Even when I threw a few last minute curve balls at him (In Milford Sound I wanted to upgrade to one of the new luxury cabins looking over the river, which he took care of and then go and photograph the whales when we were booked to do Dolphins). None of it was too difficult or to much trouble and all of it was handled professionally and with utmost courtesy.
I am almost convinved Phillip has a pact with the NZ weather gods – because we totally nailed the weather the entire trip – which considering we were there in the dead of winter when anything can happen was amazing. When we were on the west coast the east cost was totally socked in and vice verca. I could not have asked for better weather or light for photography – or for a better guide to make sure I was in the right location at the right time.
The tour included three helicopter flights including two custom flights over the glaciers and Southern Alps with the doors off (totally amazing experience), whales, New Zealand Sea Lions, The Remarkables, Punakaiki, The Southern Alps, Lake Matheson, Milford Sound, Kaikora (amazing sun rises), Fox Glacier and Glacier heli-hike, Franz Josef Glacier, Glenorchy, Queenstown, Castle Hill and the much more.
A couple of items I want to make special note of: The first of which is that Phillip's first concern was making sure John and I got the photograph we wanted – his own photography was a distant last. He always put us first and foremost – including taking us to several well off the track locations that there is no way I would have known about or ever found – but yielded spectacular photographs. The second is that he gave us room to work, but was always on hand for questions or queries. I like to work at my own methodical pace and don't require photographic instruction – but I often did want to know how Phillip as a local saw the shot in his minds eye and where he felt it worked best based on his experience with the area. To this end he was extremely helpful and I owe him a debt of gratitude in this respect as it has contributed to the quality of shots I was able to get.
The last item I want to touch on is time. With two young kids, a business etc. the luxury of time is something I dont have a lot of. This was a contributing factor in my decision to book a guide rather than go it alone. Many photographers often think the best way to shoot a new location is on their own, but those of us who have been to a new area with a good guide know that there is no substitute for local knowledge. And that local knowledge saves a huge amount of time (and time is money) and contributes to images of far greater quality. To this end Phillip was nothing short of brilliant – a better guide could not be had.
The trip exceeded my expectations in many many ways and I would have no hesitation in reccomending Phillip and Capture New Zealand to any photographer here or anywhere. A month after the trip I am still furiously processing images (I shot more than 3300 frames in the twelve days I was there). I should have the bulk of the processing finished within the month and will put up a website of the trip as soon as possible – until then you will just have to enjoy the video Phillip shot linked to above and on the video page of his website . [Edit – my own website has now been updated with photographs from the trip.
I am most likely heading back to NZ earlish 2010 for family prior to heading off to Iceland later in the year, but will be hooking up again with Phillip – and that is the highest recommendation I can give.
P.S – Thank you to Marty who wrote about his trip and experiences on the Luminous Landscape that led me to my own Capture New Zealand trip.

By Susan Gladwin and Michael Floyd
Consider the humble mollusk and its byssus. If you've ever eaten a mussel and removed its "beard" (the byssus), you might consider it a nuisance. But these essential silky filaments are what the creature produces to attach itself to home base and avoid drifting all over the ocean. Transforming foam into thread, mollusks manufacture an amazing adhesive that holds its shape and stickiness in water, and is unlike anything humans can currently fabricate.
It's this kind of everyday manufacturing miracle that inspired researchers in the Fall 2015 Greener Solutions class at the University of California Berkeley Center for Green Chemistry (UCBCGC). In pursuit of more sustainable additive manufacturing and a better 3D printing user experience, Autodesk supported this class, in which researchers were tasked to use biomimicry as a lens for sustainable materials innovation through green chemistry[1]. Equipped with 11 bio-inspired design strategies borrowed from the natural world, the class spent the fall semester developing promising avenues for the development of high performance 3D printing materials that are "biofriendly" and sustainable. You can explore the 11 design strategies in detail here.
The UCBCGC research team began by asking: What can we learn from nature's way of 3D printing? The natural world presents us with 3.8 billion years of macro- and micro-biological problem solving from which to borrow inspiration. "What always drew me to the fundamental sciences was a fascination with the natural world, and a deep appreciation for how elegant its solutions are," says team member Coleman Rainey, a researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. In 3D printing, we might investigate how nature generates solid forms from liquid sources, creates adhesion, and builds in layers. Once we have understood how living systems perform these functions, we can fold our insights back into the technology we create, learning from natural systems to transform human systems.
Earlier research commissioned by Autodesk yielded 11 bio-inspired design strategies, all identified as especially relevant to 3D printing. Looking into these stimulated new ideas about materials for stereolithography (SLA) processes, enabling the researchers to explore fresh ground. "Previously, the industry has been thinking about chemical bonding as a way to transition liquid resin to a solid product," says Chen Cheng, a Chemistry PhD student, "but that is first of all not reversible, and secondly it involves hazardous chemicals. Today we have been thinking about reversible phase changes that don't really require any chemical bonding… and could allow us to explore a much wider range of chemical resins."
Of the 11 strategies, several stand out for the research team as especially compelling.
Hierarchy Across Linear Scales
When we first glance at an object in nature, like a butterfly's wing, we may see only its bulk form. But closer examination reveals breathtaking layers of structural detail. If we zoom in to the microscopic level, we discover intricate forms whose design helps define how the wing functions as a whole. Life shapes matter by starting from the tiniest level, and building up materials that function at the bulk scale. This is a totally different approach to materials than we're used to with, say, cast metal or injection-molded plastic.
"My favorite [design strategy] to think about recently has been a hierarchy across linear scales," says Rainey, "recognizing that there is a profound relationship between the molecular scale, the nano scale, the meso scale, and the bulk scale. The way those are related, and the ways that a lobster… or a mollusk shell produces and processes its materials across those scales… usually involves just one or two materials. But the rich diversity of ways in which you can structure that material on all those scales produces an incredibly wide range of material properties. It's just something that humans have not been able to do. That's why additive manufacturing is so exciting! It starts to open up and loosen the constraints of how we can manipulate matter, not on just one particular scale, but actually tuning the architecture at both the molecular and mesoscopic scale."
The Optimal Activator: The Environment is the Catalyst
Within the field of additive manufacturing there are many different ways to build up material layer by layer. All of them require some process for manipulating that material - temporarily melting it, binding it together, or turning it from a liquid into a solid. The potential activators for these processes include light, temperature, and pressure. In the typical stereolithography (SLA) process, projected near-UV light (405 nm wavelength) is a common activator that initiates polymerization, "curing" liquid resin and transforming it into a solid polymer. There are several other environmental conditions that could be used or combined with this process to achieve a phase change, and pH is one such condition that has a great deal of unexplored potential. "We're looking a little bit more into pH change," says researcher Lee Ann Hill, a Master of Public Health candidate. "In terms of biomimetic principles, when a substrate that's in an acidic environment hits an alkaline environment like seawater, it goes through a phase change. So that's one of the main strategies we're looking at, and it was inspired by the environment itself as a catalyst."
Functionally Graded Material
"Functionally-graded materials," Rainey explains, "are those whose chemical or material functionality changes dependent on your position in that material. So you can have something that transitions from being super rigid to being super flexible, or something that transitions from being super conductive to being super insulating, or something of that nature." The beak of the Humboldt squid is often cited as an example of this design strategy at work in nature. It's the hardest non-mineral material found in nature yet this same sharp appendage smoothly transitions through a gradient to the soft jelly-like body of the animal, all as a function of how it is made. Rainey states that when it comes to 3D printing, "the nature of the technology implies that you are constructing something from the bottom up, and you're dictating the properties at each layer." This enables the creation of new kinds of objects with finely tuned mechanical properties, like the squid's beak, which would be impossible to create with traditional fabrication processes.
Water is the Universal Medium
The existing liquid resins used in SLA 3D printing are chemically derived from petroleum, a non-renewable resource, and require cautious handling. But their formulations do have the benefit of being highly reactive, allowing for tightly controlled chemical reactions that can create high-resolution 3D prints. Achieving the same quality of result with a safer, non-petroleum formulation (such as a water-based material) is no easy task.
Using water as a medium in the SLA process would mean a paradigm shift in how chemistry is performed within the 3D printer. Despite the challenges associated with such an approach, the likely benefits of an aqueous medium are too enormous to ignore: extreme recyclability, multiple functionality, and common, local, and cheap sourcing, to name a few. Cheng further elaborates, "A lot of chemical processes are incompatible with water or oxygen, which acts as an inhibitor of the current SLA process, and this can be a challenge or limitation. So the way that nature makes things allows us to rethink the whole process, and that allows us to completely bypass those restrictions." Water-based processes could also reduce or eliminate the use of synthetic solvents, which come with their own set of human and environmental problems in the cleaning of SLA prints.
Through biomimicry, the UCBCGC researchers are seeking pathways to safer and more sustainable material solutions. By helping materials researchers explore digital fabrication techniques that are more in tune with natural processes, a biomimetic approach is more likely to deliver results that respect the needs of living organisms and the constraints of our finite planet. As Cheng puts it, "If the end goal is to minimize the impact on the environment, just taking what nature is already using is probably the best way." Where better to look for inspiration than at the materials, forces, and processes that have powered 3.8 billion years of 3D printing in the natural world?
In the first installment of this series we examined how biomimicry and green chemistry can work together to support biofriendly innovation for SLA resins. In the next and final installment, we will further explore the research insights the students gained and the promising directions for continued investigation they proposed.

Reebok's Freestyle sneaker is the sneaker of choice for upcoming female stars.
Refreshing young artists from D. Woods to Santogold (both pictured above) to Tiffany Evans and Teyana Taylor stay rocking the shoe affectionately known as "59.50s" due to their price back in the day.

DOF Subsea Norway AS has joined the list of early customers for iXSea's new version of DELPH subsea mapping software. The Bergen-based subsea operations specialists have purchased six licenses for the DELPH Seismic and DELPH Sonar products.
DOF will use the software for geophysical data collection and interpretation in support of seabed mapping connected with, for example, pipeline inspections and route survey work.
The software was selected by DOF after an extensive in-house testing programme. This initially involved the processing of previously gathered data and culminated in a sea-trial using the company's Geocat geophysical survey vessel equipped with Edgetech Full Spectrum CHIRP technology.
Jens Ditlev, chief geologist, DOF, said: "The software meets or, in some areas, exceeds our entire shallow seabed mapping needs. It has been designed to combine side-scan sonar, sub-bottom profiling and magnetometry data, and it performs well in this respect. It is efficient, versatile and easy to use. Importantly, it also incorporates a very effective internal QC function with ready access to the files and a thorough cross-referencing capability."
Rather than being the result of a revamp of existing software, the DELPH geophysical software suite represents a completely new approach by iXSea. The products have been developed from scratch with several aims in mind. These include ease of data integration; improved data clean-up and imaging; better QC of the data; clearer, more comprehensive presentation of the final information; increased compatibility with imported datasets; simple data export to widely-used mapping information packages such as ArcGIS; and ease of use by less-experienced operators.
Jan Adland, iXSea regional sales manager, Scandinavia, said: "When designing the DELPH software we took a fresh look at the typical user's requirements. By stepping away completely from existing products we have achieved advances in a number of areas that have resulted in a much faster, more efficient, software tool."
The processing of geophysical data to provide a clear indication of seabed conditions can take days or even weeks. Besides the advantages DELPH brings to data post-processing work, the software provides the opportunity for operators to accelerate the production line used to convert data to valuable information on board the survey vessel itself.

RTI International
The group: RTI International is an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit institute that provides objective research, development and technical services to government and private-sector clients. RTI's Digital Health and Clinical Informatics Program conducts research on patient and clinician use of technology to improve individual and population health, self-management, and provider-based health care as part of health system transformation.
The idea: This approach will demonstrate how the combination of self-generated data can enhance public health surveillance indicators to provide valid, high-fidelity measures of physical activity, sedentary behaviors, and sleep. The project will combine data extracted from recruited participants' wearable devices, enabling a variety of individual- and cohort-level analyses not currently possible with Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System measures. These will range from descriptive statistics and temporal pattern recognition on the minute level to more complex, idiographic, multivariate assessments and modeling of physical activity, sedentary behaviors and sleep in the sampled population.

Miley Cyrus told Barbara Walters: I get embarrassed to take pictures. That's actually the truth. I'm so embarrassed, because people are taking pictures of me, and I just don't know how to, I don't know how to smile, and just be awkward, so I stick my tongue out, because I don't know what else to do.'
Several critics accused the Miley of being desperate, even troubled, which Miley said was hurtful but that wasn't going to hold her back: 'I know I'm not, so that's why I just kind of laugh. I refuse to Google myself. The minute I stopped Googling myself, you don't imagine what a happier person I am.

Knitting & Crochet Blog Week 2011 – Day One
I just found out about Knitting and Crochet Blog Week 2011. It runs from March 28th to April 3rd 2011 and is a week of fibre-arts related posts where many members of the knitting and crochet community worldwide blog daily together on the same subjects and topics. Wow! Sounds like fun! The BIG question is, think I can keep up? We'll see….
So today's topic is….A Tale of Two Yarns
My absolute favorite yarn is Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport. Socks and Shawls knit up quickly with this yarn. And it is soooo squishy and soft using a size 2 needle. Colors are great and I have found it at Jimmy Beans Wool, The Loopy Ewe and Eat, Sleep, Knit…three of my favorite online yarn stores.
|River Rapids Sock in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport in Midway
And then what could I say about Malabrigo worsted that hasn't been said by everybody else? Soft, soft soft to the touch. Again, I found some at all of the three yarn stores listed above. Sadly, most of my local yarn stores do not have much in the way of either of these yarns. However, one local yarn store has been much better lately about stocking all the pretty yarns that I love to find online.

Choosing the appropriate template assists preserving a great deal of money and time.
Firstly, you need to be ready to recognize the great template's essentials. Selected characteristics are common to many invoices. For instance, it's to truly have the contact data of the consumer, as well as the brand of the business and its address. It always describes the type of companies provided for delivering them, as well as the value arranged. Usually, their logo is included by firms while in the bill and, depending on the nature of company, they might note the cost terms and the break down of things or services offered.

Sometimes, you might need to provide your servicing team with blank bills, enabling them to hand them up to consumers for obtaining payments and to organize bills immediately. You may also consider having a combination of every one of these.

State Department's spring break travel tweet backfires, prompts apology "Details"
- Updated: April 1, 2016
State Department's Spring Break Tweet About Attractiveness Draws Ire.
The State Department found itself in hot water this week after one of its spring break safety tips rubbed Twitter users — and decent people everywhere — the wrong way.
"Not a '10' in the US? Then not a 10 overseas," the department's Bureau of Consular Affairs tweeted on Wednesday. It continued, "Beware of being lured into buying expensive drinks or worse — being robbed. #springbreakingbadly." The warning at the end of the tweet was fine, but the language in the beginning, which seemingly referred to attractiveness ratings, was just plain rude.
Many Twitter users accused the State Department of being sexist, to which it replied, "We made no mention of gender. This can happen to anyone unfortunately."
@TravelGov @gonicholasgo Incredibly irresponsible to use sexist and objectifying language to prove you're "down with the kids." Do better.
— Breakthrough U.S. (@BreakthroughUS) March 30, 2016
Again, the message is OK — necessary, even, for all of the spring breakers who can use sage advice on how to stay safe while traveling. But why the need for the bizarre and patronizing tone? Judging by the rest of the department's spring break safety tweets (all hashtagged with #springbreakingbadly), it seems the government agency is trying to appear cool or relatable in order to communicate an important message to a younger crowd. Like this one:
Somebody offered you a free trip abroad, but the free luggage they offered is lined with cocaine. Beware of these scams #springbreakingbadly
— Travel – State Dept (@TravelGov) March 29, 2016
The strange messages, which have been interspersed with more straightforward ones, have garnered not only criticism, but also mocking, like this tweet from one user:
You break your leg abroad, but the cast that the shady doctor put on you is made of cocaine. #springbreakingbadly https://t.co/KgYGvJMd65
— Anton Strezhnev (@a_strezh) March 30, 2016
After receiving enough criticism (and responding to the complaints directly) about its "Not a '10'" tweet, the department deleted it (as well as another posted later that read, "Meet your mate online and now he needs you to send him money overseas? It might be a scam-don't fall victim to it!" and issued an apology: "Some have been offended by our earlier tweet and we apologize that it came off negatively," one read. "We see many Americans fall victim to scams each year & want all to be careful while traveling," the other continued.
Some have been offended by our earlier tweet and we apologize that it came off negatively 1/2
— Travel – State Dept (@TravelGov) March 30, 2016
We see many Americans fall victim to scams each year & want all to be careful while traveling 2/2
— Travel – State Dept (@TravelGov) March 30, 2016
Safety warnings for travelers are good, insulting them is bad. At least they apologized.

The All-Weather Championships, especially the £1.1 million Finals Day at Lingfield Park Resort on Good Friday, are now an established part of the British Horseracing Calendar.
While the All-Weather Championships were initially the idea of Arena Racing Company (ARC), everyone at ARC is enormously grateful to the support we have received from all in British Horseracing in helping ensure the All-Weather Championships have proved a success from the outset.
A particular thanks goes to the British Horseracing Authority and the horsemen for their support, the European Breeders Fund, which financially supports many races across the All-Weather Championships season and Chelmsford City, Kempton Park, Dundalk, Cagnes-sur-Mer and Deauville racecourses.
We would also like to show our gratitude to our four sponsors, Coral, Ladbrokes, 32Red and Unibet, who were at the forefront of showing support for the All-Weather Championships. Our media partner, At The Races, has provided exciting coverage from day one and we look forward to Channel 4 broadcasting Finals Day next March live from Lingfield Park.
As we enter the third season of the All-Weather Championships we can all look forward to enjoying another winter of exciting racing ahead of crowning seven new Champions on Good Friday.
